IMPORTANT FOOD SERVICE INFORMATION

Dear Parents:

If you believe your child/children may qualify for free or reduced price meals, please send the form back to school immediately so your child can start receiving the benefits of this program as soon as possible. They must pay for lunches until the application has been approved.

If your child was approved for free or reduced last year, this information does not carry over to this school year. You will need to fill out a new form. Please fill out one form per family, listing each student and the school they attend.

Need Help? If you need help filling this form out, please call 262-348-1015. If your child is approved for Free or Reduced Lunch, this will qualify them to have one regular breakfast, and one regular lunch. Students will be charged for a la carte items, additional lunches and extra milk with meals. If your child is in elementary school and qualifies for free or reduced meals, they are also qualified to receive milk at break time.

All students will have an account in our system for purchasing lunches. Each student must have money in their account BEFORE purchasing lunch. We will try to notify students in the line when they are getting low on money; however, it is the parent’s responsibility to ensure that their child has adequate funds available for purchasing lunch.

Making Payments by Check: Make payable to LG Schools Food Service. Please write student name(s) in "memo" area of check. Separate checks are required for each school. If you are writing a check for more than one child, please write down the amount you wish to apply to each child's account. Milk payment needs to be separate from meal payment. Balances will carry over from year to year.

Making Electronic Payments: Go to district homepage and follow the electronic payments link.

Student Balances: are available online if you have signed up for PowerSchool access. Letters are sent home weekly at the elementary level when your child needs additional funds. Also, if your child’s balance has dropped below $-5.00, you may receive an automated phone call. If you would like to know your child’s account balance, please call your school kitchen and we will be happy to provide that information to you. We offer many different a la carte choices at the middle school and high school, so there is a possibility your child will be spending more than the cost of a regular lunch if they are purchasing “extras”. Please make checks payable to L.G. Jt. 1 Schools Food Service. Checks should be written for the exact amount you would like credited to their food account. WE WILL NOT GIVE CASH BACK TO THE STUDENT. Students must have an ID card to purchase lunches. The first card will be issued at no cost. However, we will charge $1.00 for replacement cards.

FREE & REDUCED APPLICATION INFORMATION

Free and reduced applications must be filled out every year. There will be a two week grace period, and if a new form has not been returned, your child will revert to full pay and be responsible for payment of all meals until a form is returned and approved. Forms will be available at schools on registration days. If your child is qualified for free meals based on direct certification, you will receive a letter in August, and will not need to fill out an application.
